1 The trip by ferry on May 14th

2 We left school at 6:00 pm. We took the ferry at 11:00pm. The sea was quite calm so nobody was seasick. The ferry was very big! On board the ferry we did some shopping for an hour before going to bed. We bought candies and postcards.

3 DAY 1 : Tate Modern and Chelsea Stadium When we arrived in London, we visited the Tate Modern. The Tate Modern is very big and high. But the fire alarm rang, so we went out for eating.

4 In the Tate Modern, we can see paintings and sculptures of the 20th century.

5 For lunch, we ate a sandwich with ham and salad and a packet of crisps.

6 After lunch, we went to Chelsea Stadium. We visited the Stadium and it was so big, it was impressive!! We saw inside the stadium and the changing rooms with the players jerseys. We went to the shop of the Stadium but we didn t buy anything.

7 This day was a fun day but a long day because we stayed on the bus for so long!!! The traffic was very bad.

8 Day 3 : Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace afternoon at the British Museum On Thursday we started from Hyde Park. Hyde Park is the biggest park in London, it is not very far from Buckingham Palace and we saw swans and squirrels.

9 On the way to Buckingham Palace we saw the Queen's guards on horses.

10 We walked to Buckingham Palace to take photos.

11 We visited the British Museum and we saw pharaos, sphinx...

12 Day 4 : Tower of London and Saint Paul s cathedral At the beginning of the day we visited the Tower of London. We saw the Crown s jewels and we saw the torture room. It was interesting.

13 Lunch time We ate next to the Thames river.

14 St Paul s Cathedral We visited St Paul s cathedral. We saw the architecture then we walked up to the very top of the dome. There was a beautiful view of London!

15 Covent Garden The last day we also went shopping in Covent Garden. In the galleries, we could find tea shops and much more! It was very big and impressive.

16 The evening In the evening, we saw M&M s shop and some pupils went inside and bought something. Also, we walked in the street to go to Mac Donald s and saw street artists, shops and more.

17 We arrived in Mac Donald s but we were too many to eat in it so we ate at Trafalgar Square. We gave food and money to a homeless man. He was very happy and he thanked us in French.

18 FOOD For breakfast, we ate toasts with butter or marmelade, and we had cereal. And we drank orange juice, tea, milk.

19 FOOD In our packed lunches we had the same things everyday : a bottle of water, sandwiches (ham, cheese, tomatoes, salad), fruit : apples, oranges crisps and chocolate bars.

20 FOOD For dinner, we ate pizza, chips, hamburgers, pasta bolognese We ate the food and we liked it. The food was copious.

21 HOST FAMILIES The host families were very nice, friendly and not strict. Generally we spoke a lot to our families.

22 THE HOST FAMILIES The houses are small and nicely decorated. In the bedrooms there is a wardrobe, a bed and a window. Often, the host families have dogs or cats.

23 FREE TIME AND SHOPPING

24 The money was different. There are eight different British coins : one penny, two pence, five pence, ten pence, fifty pence, one pound and two pounds.

25 The money We can see the head of Queen Elizabeth second on the British banknotes and we can see the head of Marianne on the French banknotes.

26 The shops We went to Oxford Street and Covent Garden for shopping. We spent all our money. We went shopping in Primark, souvenir shops, Harrod s, Chelsea and M&M s. They were the main shops.

27 Differences with France and stereotypes In England they drive on the left with the wheel on the right. The taxis and buses are different : the taxis are black or other colours, they are the traditional taxis. The buses are double deckers and they are red. On the pavement, you wait 2 minutes to cross and you have 5 seconds to cross the street.

28 The walls of the houses are in stone with tiles for the roof, the houses don t have shutters. English kids wear a uniform to go to school and they have a packed lunch for lunch. The government is different : in France we have a president and a prime minister but in England they have a queen, a royal family and a prime minister.

29 In England, the weather can be rainy or sunny. English people drink tea and they eat fish & chips. The English play rugby, cricket and football. The Royal Family is important for the British. They are not very elegant! The British always wait in a queue. The British are always on time. They are very polite.
